Dinner came far too quickly, he had been out all day making sure everything was prepared, she was ready as well but her heart wasn’t. The thought of leaving him like this caused her chest to ache with indescribable pain, the pressure was intense, and yet she still had to smile with grace and pretend everything was fine. She was coming back of course she was, but he would find out about her trip .. it was going to cause problems and yet she was going to do it anyway.
Azula entered the kitchen, spotting Vulcan as he stood up, pulling out her chair for her causing her blue eyes to soften as she sat down. He leaned over kissing her cheek, a soft sigh escaping her as sparks erupted over her cheek like lava rapidly covering the earth determined to consume everything living around it. He was being extra sweet tonight, making her plate and cutting her steak, and pouring gravy on her mashed potatoes.
She chose to not question it, eating and chatting happily with the pack, she was introduced to some more of the members, the other omegas besides Ysabel, a cheeky blonde named Jasper, a woman with beautiful dark skin and long black hair and brown eyes named Zara and finally a brunette with green eyes named Bridgette. They all picked on Ysabel like siblings throughout dinner and it was wholesome and fulfilling.
Odette was even laughing and smiling through dinner, though every time she caught her dark eyes they glared with anger. Her being angry didn’t upset her at all, she had so many reasons to not like her. Who was she to tell someone how they should feel? It wasn’t right and so she wouldn’t do it, hopefully, in time she came around to liking her a bit more. She hoped maybe one day they could even be friends.
Azula was dragged out of her thoughts as Vulcan’s hand snaked under the table giving her knee a gentle squeeze she looked up from her plate smiling at him “yes dear?” she questioned curiously, truly thinking he was trying to get her attention for something, but all he did was blush, the pink hue spread over his tan cheeks making him look innocent and his also freckles gave him the extra layer of adorableness.
“Well I uh .. you just look so pretty, and I well.. uh you see. I just wanted to keep as much physical contact as possible because I’m going to miss you so much” he finally managed to get out. Her eyes widened at his proclamation and that was the only push she needed as she shifted into his lap, snuggling into him. A content rumble escaped him as she buried her face into the crook of his neck.
“I’m going to miss you as well, but you will see me again before you know it” she purred happily, they were both going to be extremely busy time would fly by.. and hopefully everything ended well. He would mark her when he got back, she wasn’t ready for it but he was determined that was the best way to protect her.
Vulcan shifted resting his head on top of hers as she was able to finish eating and even managed to polish off a slice of apple pie. Her body began to itch with the anticipation of shifting nearly bouncing with childlike excitement on his lap. He chuckled swooping her up and taking them outside, she couldn’t contain her excitement at all and he seemed to notice this.
“Calm down little flame” he whispered into her ear before playfully nibbling on the lobe causing a soft moan to escape her.
“Vulcan don’t do that, you know we will never get to go on that run if you are stuck here nibbling on me,” she breathed out as he moved from her ear to her neck, teeth grazing the spot where he was going to mark her, this caused her back to arch a desperate gasp left her parted pink lips, barely managing to exhale a frosty breath into the cold night air.
“Shift for me,” he hoarsely uttered and she didn’t waste any time doing as he asked taking multiple steps forward as she shifted into her beautiful midnight blue wolf for the second time. It was painful but still not as painful as the first time, Seraphina trotted over to him prancing and jumping about his feet, the cold grass flattening underneath her paws.
“Give me, give me give me Sol” Seraphina was chanting within their mind looking at Vulcan expectantly. She finally got the idea to take a few steps back plopping down dramatically as she watched him until her mate finally followed suit and began shifting into his beautifully red wolf. Sol … why was he so stunning, he stood proudly as Seraphina rubbed herself against him, her head resting against his neck as she tilted her head up her tongue darting out to shower her mate in affection.
Sol happily returned the affection licking the top of her head trying to tame her wild fur, finally, It was time to run, giving Sol a nip while playfully shooting him a sly look before bolting daring him to give chase. The wind whistled around her as she charged like a bullet, the cooler air pressing in against her as she drifted around a tree powerful muscles rippled under her pelt as her body extended beautifully dirt flying up behind her as she continued to dodge around trees. Leaping on top of a fallen log, her blue gaze narrowed as she looked around searching for her mate that was supposed to be chasing her.
It happened before she could process it, a blur of red, the flashing of golden eyes, flames that danced and circled his paws, and then she was pinned, a victorious howl escaping him as she quickly cut it short by throwing her weight flipping them with ease as she pinned down his wolf instead. Leaning down as her tongue moved over his cheek and before he could flip them again she was off. Yipping happily in her wolf form, moving even faster than before as blue flames erupted from her paws, circling her almost appearing to dance and flicker to life at her command.
Try and catch her now, she thought to herself as she pushed herself to go even faster, a blur of midnight blue, the electric blue flames highlighting different undertones in her fur as she pushed further. Flying with immense speed through a flower-filled clearing, the momentum causing the flowers to bend to her will as she zoomed past, only for a massive blur of red to block her path slamming into it as they tumbled into each other rolling through the wildflowers.
Vulcan playfully nipped at her as she wiggled not amused with being caught, how had he caught her? Even more so how did he get in front of her?!
His nose gently began rubbing against hers, the moon shining down upon the scene with its gentle comforting rays, the cold breeze rushed about them beautifully. It was perfect, but it wasn’t the place or the setting that made it that way,no, it was the stunning red wolf that was hovered above her that made it perfect.
It was him, it always would be.
